Where is your Focus?










Psalm 1:1-6 ESV 

Blessed is the man who walks not in the counsel of the wicked, nor stands in the way of sinners, nor sits in the seat of scoffers; but his delight is in the law of the Lord, and on his law he meditates day and night. He is like a tree planted by streams of water that yields its fruit in its season, and its leaf does not wither. In all that he does, he prospers. The wicked are not so, but are like chaff that the wind drives away. Therefore the wicked will not stand in the judgment, nor sinners in the congregation of the righteous; ...


We are made to have each our own, choice. We can make our own decision, daily. God didn't want robots for his people, but people who chose to serve him and walk according to his ways.

With that being said, what choice are you making each day? Are your thought all over the place? Or are you steadily bringing to remembrance God's word about your life? If you are walking in fear and afraid of what tomorrow may bring, then it is time to get into God's word and spend time praying. God brings a peace that passes all understanding. (King James Bible Philippians 4:7
And the peace of God, which passeth all understanding, shall keep your hearts and minds through Christ Jesus.)
A lot is going on right now. It is good to be safe and precautions with the virus. It is good to distance yourself for a while. Yet during these times, don't be overcome with fear or worry of tomorrow. That is why we need to daily bring our needs, and concerns to the Lord and leave them there. He is our provider, protector, and friend. (King James Bible Psalms 54:4
Behold, God is mine helper: the Lord is with them that uphold my soul.)
This is a time to reflect on who you are and who God wants you to be. A time of stillness. Learning to be still and listen to God. Hear him speak through others, His word, books, music, nature. So many ways God can speak to us. Allow God to help you to grow through all of this. Come out of this a better you. A more balanced you. Ask God what HE  wants to take place in your life during this time.

Keep your focus on God and His agendas. What does  He want to accomplish in you, your family, our Country, and the Nation. Be a good listener during this time. Pray for a word from God. (King James Bible Jeremiah 29:3 And ye shall seek me, and find me, when ye shall search for me with all your heart.)





Scriptures:

Colossians 3:2 ESV 

Set your minds on things that are above, not on things that are on earth.






Proverbs 4:25 ESV 

Let your eyes look directly forward, and your gaze be straight before you.
